gwpics Posted January 19, 2018 Share #45 Posted January 19, 2018 I have looked into my possible travel arrangements which may be of interest to others. Flight from Southampton (my home) to Amsterdam and the train from airport direct to Nijmegen. Should be quite a relaxed journey.

I Have reserved for 20 persons in Cafe van Buren: Café van Buren Molenstraat 89 6511 HB Nijmegen We have “windowseats” there or we go on the terras if the weather allows. 11:30 distance 260 meters: We might peak in the “Vereniging “ the concert building nearby (still negotiating) where there is a reconstruction at the time. The concert building is renowned with musicians for its great acoustics resembling the famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, but smaller. https://www.stadsschouwburgendevereeniging.nl/zakelijk/Concertzaal/ Walking to and around the “Valkhof” “distance 800m. Het Valkhof. “https://nl.wikipedia...eum_Het_Valkhof https://www.museumhetvalkhof.nl Or visit an exhibition with bad weather.

" Veur Lent ". at Cafe Waalzicht: This Island is recently made. They dug away a huge pile of sand, making an extra river/lake to give more room for the river and its rising water.

gwpics Posted January 21, 2018 Share #51 Posted January 21, 2018 Paulus Thank you for such a detailed itinerary which is useful. Some of the walks at the end of a busy day may be quite a stretch for me but I am quite happy to get a taxi if necessary. Do you have a recommended hotel as i will be staying at least2 maybe 3 nights. Gerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a recommended hotel as i will be staying at least2 maybe 3 nights. Gerry it's also possible to walk from " Stoom " back to the " Valkhof " and skipping the Island part and seeing us there for dinner at Odessa's. But a taxi would also be possible. As for a nice hotel: Hotel restaurant Oortjeshekken, : it's great! lying very rural ( the river in front of the hotel and a swamp with wild horses ) about 7 kilometer off the center. http://oortjeshekken.mign.nl. But you have to call them quickly if you want. I called them right now to ask if they have room at the moment, they have 4 rooms left ( there are only 11 rooms..) but normally you have to book for fri-sat+ sat-sun ( two nights ) because it's so popular. Or you can book at Vandervalk Lent : https://www.valknijmegen.nl/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjNfXkarp2AIVarHtCh0hYgLNEAAYASAAEgLCCvD_BwE it's is just build. In Lent looking over the village. You can walk to the Railwaystation Lent and take a train every quarter of an hour to central station.

willemr Posted January 22, 2018 Share #53 Posted January 22, 2018 @Paules, you may add me to the 'maybe' list for Nijmegen. I've checked my social calendar, and there's a 70% chance that I can make it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcraf Posted January 25, 2018 Share #57 Posted January 25, 2018 Count me in too please. I have very fond memories of participating in the ‘Nijmegen marches’ in the early 90s when I was stationed in mainland Europe with the UK military. It will be great to revisit, and of course to meet Leica friends old and new. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
